I don't disagree with this, but before they go out and trade for some borderline All-Star type player, I'd much rather them look at the options they have internally with all this youth. Amen, Tari and Cam are all players who could grow into starting caliber SFs if given the minutes, and they all have higher ceilings and more upside than Brooks. I don't think the Rockets front office will do it, but I'd be up for dealing Brooks to the highest bidder and just filling that starting SF position internally. Aside from this, though, I'm fully on board with team "do nothing" the rest of the offseason.
Just looking around the league, I really don't see a realistic "star" trade I would be happy with. The true superstars aren't available, mid stars are overpaid or have issues capping them as robin level. Just give the 7 prospects we have another year and see who grabs the brass ring. We can re evaluate midseason.
You got me thinking about the star list. It's not very long Guys who might could be available realistically soon that I'd take- Devin Booker, Ja Morant (if Ja proves his head is back on straight) Guys who I'd take that almost definitely won't be available anytime soon- Anthony Edwards, Luka Doncic, Tyrese Halliburton, Nikola Jokic, Wemby, Tatum, Giannis Guys who I want to actively avoid- Trae Young, Donovan Mitchell, Brandon Ingram, Zion Williamson, Karl Anthony Towns, Joel Embiid, anyone 34 or older
We now have a full 15-man roster of guaranteed contracts with two out of three 2-way contracts committed.
with denver being so cheap and showing jokic they don't care about winning, i'm down for sengun, cam, green, and all our picks for jokic
Fred VanVleet --------- 6'0" Reed Sheppard ------- 6'2" Jrue Holiday ________ 6'2" Jalen Green ------------ 6'4" Jae'Sean Tate ---------- 6'4" Nate Williams --------- 6'5" AJ Griffin ---------------- 6'6" Cam Whitmore ------- 6'7" Amen Thompson ---- 6'7" Dillon Brooks --------- 6'7" Tari Eason ------------- 6'8" Jeff Green -------------- 6'9" Jabari Smith Jr. ------- 6'11" Alperen Sengun ----- 6'11" Steven Adams -------- 6'11" Jock Landale ---------- 6'11" N'Faly Dante ---------- 6'11" ?? Boban Marjanovic -- 7'4" 15 Regular Contracts / 2 2-way Contracts If no other changes are made looks like Boban may be the odd man out.
Scr@w that! You trade or cut Uncle Jeff, we riot! Wait.... Just me? Ok, if you trade or cut Uncle Jeff, I riot! #hoyasaxa
OK, then we should trade Brooks for a guy and 3 2nds? Amen is a point guard not a forward, he will not have successful career if he is not a point guard. I think Tari should start! He has more length, wingspan, agility and a rebounding mentality. If we cannot upgrade our SF position then get rid of Dillion and start Tari
Why would I when Brooks would fit much better? Are you even paying attention??? C'mon bruh... work with me.
